How to survive Monday mornings?

in #monday7 years ago (edited)

So it's still Sunday yet we already feel the dread which reminds us that fun time is over, get ready for work. You are not alone in this. So how do you survive it?

1. Think of the reason you're doing this.

 Whenever you feel the blues, think of the reasons why are you doing this in the first place. It makes our energy kicking. It makes us see life with meaning. It makes us do more with what we have.


2. Just think of it as first step for the weekend

Surviving Monday mornings is vital. You can’t go through the day without getting out of bed. You can’t go through any days of the week without going through the first day, Monday. You can’t skip Mondays. Just like in any other aspects of life, you have to go through the first step before proceeding to the next.  


3. Listen to some music

Listening to music calms you down and gives you a feeling of happiness.  Do it while you preparing for work or when making yourself a coffee or tea in the morning. It helps divert your mind away from the experience of Monday mornings. 


4. Remember that whatever you situation you have is temporary.

Just like weekends, Mondays do end. Just tell yourself it isn't permanent.  It’s just a step and as with everything else it will conclude. 


5. Think of the good things to look forward to

 Looking forward to even the smallest bits of your day can not only make that day more delightful, but it can also improve your view on life, help you appreciate the things that you have, keep you from getting burned out, and help you have better relationships. 

 There are many positive things at work if you just be open-minded. Your salary helps you payyour bills. Your colleagues have become good friends.Your bosses whom you may not always agree with are by and large, understanding when you make certain requests. Look forward to these good things when you are faced with Monday Blues.
